Why recording police is neccesary for liberty

I'm against this. Camera's prevent cops from being able to do their jobs.

Most of the camera footage I've seen of cops is them violently abusing someone or being rabidly attacked by someone. Most of the cops I've seen in real life were neither attacking nor being attacked by anyone. I can only conclude that video taping cops leads to cops and people around them being much more violent than they normally are.

Everyone should wear a camera at all times. The evidence can help put guilty people away. It can also help protect people from being abused. Legal processes have extreme consequences for anyone involved. A routine encounter on the street can end with an innocent person shot. With stakes like that, it's important that any encounter with any human being be recorded.

The details can be worked out. Protocols can be established. Doing so being a "hassle" isn't an excuse. This is life and death. No amount of effort is too much.

Anyone who thinks otherwise shouldn't be part of the discussion.

I agree. I think it would actually be possible to embed the surveillance devices in the head. There's a sinus right above the nose and between the eyes, it's easily big enough to fit a camera. The lens would be pushed through the skin. Listening devices could be placed in the ears, and a transmitting antenna could be place under the skin of the scalp. Crime would become impossible. Isn't truth a human right? Isn't being secure from personal and property crime a human right? Write your congressperson today and demand your rights!

Writers of yore would find their creativity at the bottom of a rum bottle.

Opium by the 18th Century. Thomas de Quincey, 'Confessions of An English Opium Eater'.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge used opium to counteract the fluid effects of an internal illness and happily ended up writing 'Kubla Khan'.

Scotland's relationship with Class A drugs long pre-dates Irvine Welsh's 'Trainspotting' too.

People really shouldn't be worried about the police. They are the lowest people on the totem pole and are most of the times really just doing their jobs. It's the people whose badges they don't let you read that you really have to worry about.

I'd be ok with mandatory cameras for politicians too. Anyone engaged in the business of "the people." If you don't want to be on the record, that's what the private sector is for.
